Syrians In Turkey: Syrian Canadian

Turkey Dept: They accuse Kenney of misleading the Canadian public by touting his visit as being in support of Syrian refugees, which currently number about 200,000 in Turkey, when Canada opted instead to take 5,000 Iraqis and Iranians, according to Vancouver Sun. Kenney's aides also say Canada is currently co-operating with the UN's refugee agency, which doesn't want to push the resettlement of the hundreds of thousands of fleeing Syrians just yet and oTTAWA - The NDP and a Syrian Canadian group are questioning why Immigration Minister Jason Kenney chose to accept Iraqi and Iranian refugees when he visited fleeing Syrians in Turkey last month. But Kenney's office says there's a perfectly good explanation for the decision: Turkey won't let any fleeing Syrians leave the country until the United Nations officially declares them actual refugees.
